A bit of fun for Halloween. Tomorrow my son gets his first foray into the world of trick or treating aka collecting a large quantity of teeth-rotting substance. Given that the tooth fairy has had to pay us two visits this week already, I think I may have to put some form of rationining into motion on our return. He is fully prepared with pumpkin bucket and terrifying mask.
I'm thought I might go in disguise too (so the neighbours don't know who it is out begging!).
Interesting to see just how much has been 'spent' on Halloween in the UK this year in comparison to 'ye olden days'. Check out that link to a BBC news item. Spending in the UK has increased 23-fold since 2001!
I've been learning 'whimsey' from Tam at Willowing this week so thought I would use the new skill to spooky effect for Illustration Friday 'spent' and Sunday Sketches.

Love your illustartion..beautiful ,,you are awesome!
ReplyDeletefantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love this. It reminds me of a very greedy little girl who used to stay up half the night walking the streets alone just to get one more sucker or tootsie roll so that she would win the contest between she and her brother. I was so bad.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me. It is still one of my favorite holidays. Hope your son has a ball tonight!
I like it a lot, Lisa. I should try to take some lessons in that area, as I would love my art to be a bit more like that. You did a fantastic job! :) Happy Punkin Day!
ReplyDeleteToo cute.
ReplyDeleteHave fun on Halloween.

Your drawing is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAbout 35 years ago I went to a fancy dress party up in Aberdeen dressed just like your lovely lady (with a little fake blood thrown in for fun). That was when you used to get those horrendous multi-car pile ups in the fogs on the motorways. So my Ex and I (both Americans) went as 'M1 drivers' or 'Bloody Yanks". Glad you enjoyed the cartoons!
ReplyDeleteFun drawing, I love the cat.
ReplyDeleteHi! Happy Halloween! Love the picture! I've never tried Whimsey, it looks great!
